In a first of its kind initiative, Leisure Hotels Group (LHG), and Paddy Adventures India (PAI) have introduced river rafting on the Kosi river in Corbett.
Leisure Hotels Group claims to be the largest resort chain in Corbett, with two upper-upscale and one luxury resort. The hotel chain is witnessing an influx of visitors this monsoon season following the decision to open Corbett Tiger Reserve for round-the-year tourism by the Uttarakhand government.
Highlighting the popularity of Corbett as a wildlife destination, Vibhas Prasad, Director, Leisure Hotels Group said “Our properties are located on the banks of river Kosi and a stone’s throw away from Corbett National Park. In addition to the already teeming demand for Wildlife tourism, Corbett now also becomes a magnet for adventure tourism during the perceived off-season months of July – September”.
Pardeep Raj Singh, Director, Paddy Adventures said “Kosi is ideal for Class II rapid rafting during the monsoon season making it an ideal experience for beginners. These water activities are organised under the aegis of Mandal Vikas Nigam (KMVN). Our rafting packages include short & long trips for four people in a raft.
Corbett is well connected to several big North Indian cities, which enables convenient travelling by road. Less than 5-hours’ drive from Delhi NCR, Corbett is a perfect weekend getaway for family, friends & couples, away from the hustle-bustle of the city. This season offers a wonderful opportunity for visitors to re-discover the unseen beauty of the flora & fauna of Corbett National Park during the monsoons.
Paddy Adventures has been organising successful outdoor adventure programs across India, Nepal, Bhutan, the USA, and Mexico for the past 23 years. They are the official travel consultant for many embassies too.
